[Twelve Kingdoms] Twilight and Dawn Rain

?The sound of "ding" and the sound of raindrops hitting the blade awakened the master who was in deep thought.The young man holding the sword slowly raised the sharp blade in his hand, and the muddy rainwater snaked along the edge of the sword and slid down to the cold back of his hand.

This dense bush can't stop the sporadic light rain.Just thinking about it, the finer raindrops fell down.The young man raised his face, and stared at the countless light rain blowing through the dry and sparse branches. In an instant, his clothes were completely wet.

Coincidentally, it finally rained.But why is the taste of this rain so bitter?

Listening to the rumble of cars and horses outside the bushes, the young man frowned and hid his figure among the dry branches, leaning against the trunk quietly, the tip of his sword fell to the ground silently.

"The monster is coming!" With a hoarse cry, the convoy immediately became confused, and the frightened horses ran around uncontrollably, overturning the heavy carriage, followed by another riot.

"Protect Mr. Zukazai!" Someone reminded the guards, and they immediately surrounded the overturned carriage to show their loyalty.

"Master Zuo General!"

"what's up?"

"Master Tsukazai and his party were trapped outside the city by demons, so they sent someone to ask for help."

That old stubborn, why did you save him?General Zuo wiped his beloved sword with disdain. "How many demons are there?"

"Four or five."

"Where's the guard?"

"A hundred or so people."

So many people still asking for help?Isn't that old slicker going to play some tricks again?

"Master Zuo, do you want to go?"

"Go, of course. But not now."

"Master Zuo General?"

"Don't you want to see Zukazai in such a mess?" Hmph, I would like to know what kind of verdict the heavens will have on you for those who have betrayed the destiny.

It seems that this group of people can't hold it anymore.The young man glanced at the other side of the bush intentionally or unintentionally, the bloated Zhong Zai was hiding among the guards, but for some reason, the cunning monster was looking for this clumsy old man in fine clothes.

This kind of person deserves to die, and there is no need to spend energy to save him.Just as the boy was thinking of this, the sound of galloping horseshoes came from a distance.Through the gaps between the branches, the young man saw the face of the person coming, it was——

"Thank you, General Zuo, for your rescue. This is a small gift, please accept it with a smile." Zai Zuo ordered someone to present a thank you gift with a smile on his face.

"No need," General Zuo waved his hand, "My purpose is to kill monsters, and saving people is just a matter of chance." It's a pity, it's too early to go.

Hearing this, Tsukazai's smile froze on his face.Just when he didn't know what to do, General Zuo said again: "There is still a distinguished guest in the house, and I will not see you off." After speaking, the subordinates who received the gesture of "seeing off the guest" couldn't help but dragged Zhong Zai out of the door. .

"It's really rude, General Zuo." After Zhong Zai disappeared at the door, the boy stepped in.

General Zuo was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled knowingly: "This person, Zuo Zai, cannot be handed over to. Don't you also think so, which is why you didn't help from the beginning?"

The boy didn't say a word, it was a default.

General Zuo took a step forward and looked at the boy carefully.What a sharp boy!He couldn't help praising secretly in his heart.Not to mention a pair of slender eyebrows exuding a sword spirit, the high combed silver hair alone exudes an irresistible domineering.Wait, this boy, could it be...

General Zuo inquired calmly: "May I ask what your name is?"

However, the boy's answer was unexpected. "Your Excellency General Zuo doesn't need to know, it's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I'll take my leave."

The words have not been finished, and the people have disappeared.

Such a fast figure.General Zuo couldn't appreciate this young man more than he could.However, you cannot escape...

The bodyguard who had been hiding in the corner of the room appeared silently, and General Zuo turned around. "Lord Yeyan, you have sent out a pigeon message to inform Lord Xia." The personal guard reported in a low voice.

"Very good." General Zuo nodded in satisfaction.

"Master Yeyan." The bodyguard hesitated to speak.

"what's up?"

"The subordinates don't understand why Lord Xia values ​​one of his guards so much, and he doesn't hesitate to send a large number of people out to look for it."

General Zuo Yeyan paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

"Could it be that the young man is someone close to the king?"

General Zuo smiled slightly, and looked out the window noncommittally, there was continuous rain outside the window.

"Lord Zukazai, I heard that you were trapped by a demon outside the city. Now I am very pleased to see that you are safe and sound." Qiuguan was completely different from the awe-inspiring manner of righteous words in front of Gaolin, with a flattering and flattering face.

"Hmph," Zukazai snorted coldly, "It's a pity that I owe General Zuo a favor."

"It was General Zuo who saved you? How come...he wasn't He Chunguan..." Qiuguan looked surprised.

"It's not a big deal, there's something even more strange - the female guard under Xia Guan suddenly appeared, and she walked very close to General Zuo." Zhong Zai's face was gloomy.

"That is to say, Xia Guan wants to join forces with Chun Guan's faction? But Chun Guan and Xia Guan have a deep grudge, and there is only one reason that can make them compromise with each other—" Qiu Guan and Zhong Zai looked at each other.There is a spectrum in my heart.

"Let me go." Qiu Guan retreated neatly and immediately began to investigate.

"Master Taishi, Mr. Zukazai seems to be doing something, please be careful."

"Hmph, that old fox is busy dealing with Chunguan and Xiaguan, so he doesn't have the energy to monitor my behavior." The grand master was drunkenly shaking the wine glass in his hand, with a smug smile on his flushed face.

"but……"

"Shut up! Just follow my orders. Go, get me another drink..."

"Lord Zukazai, I just got the news from Pengshan that the upcoming mountain ascent has been cancelled."

"What?!" Zukazai was startled, then regained his composure, "Does Qiuguan know?"

"Just notified."

"You go down." Tsukazai dismissed his subordinates and fell into deep thought alone.

Sure enough, that guess was correct - Tai Fu already knew who the king was, and the king was still on the side of Xia Guan.Things get tricky.

In addition, there is one more thing that needs to be done as soon as possible. That clever grand master can just be used as a stepping stone. ?
